Welcome to the October 2021 recap. Pageviews are down again for the third month in a row. Make sure you tell your friends!  

On a personal note, I want to thank everyone who donated for their support in the 2021 CHA Dog Jog. I was able to raise $3890 for the location animal shelter in honor of my Tobey, who I lost this summer after 15 1/2 wonderful years.
